Fennel Pollen, Ritrovo Selections by Casina Rossa

Fennel Pollen is often compared to Saffron due to their labor -intensive gathering as well as their very distinctive flavors. The Fennel pollen from Casina Rossa is gathered in Italy, usually in August. Then allowed to dry in the sun until it is deemed ready by an experienced producer.

Fennel pollen is sometimes referred to as “Spice of the Angels”. Like the fruit itself, it has a strong licorice or anise flavor, but also notes of honey and citrus. A very small amount goes a very long way in creating complex flavor nuances.

Fennel pollen is most usually paired with pork dishes, as a rub or within a marinade for roasts and cuts of all kinds. But, particularly in Northern Italian cooking, it is also used often in rice and pasta dishes.

Each jar of Fennel Pollen by Ritrovo Selections contains 0.5 oz. or 15g.
